Other kinds of Virtual Opportunities
The articles in this chapter illustrate one type of virtual volunteer opportunity. Given that there are many different ways to participate virtually - you can adapt the information you provide in the opportunity description or ARS forms to meet the requirements and process for other types of virtual opportunities.
Here's some other ideas and resources for your virtual opportunities
Use online conferencing to facilitate virtual opportunities
Web conferencing is a great way to connect volunteers and facilitate on-line mentoring, virtual meetings and planning sessions, or to collaborate remotely.
There are a number of web conferencing applications that are available. Some are free, some have nonprofit discounts. Here's links to a few resources:
Zoom.us - Free and paid plans.
GotoMeeting - here's a link to their free plan. They also have paid plans.
Webex - Free and paid plans.
You can include the URL and/or Phone Number for web conferences in either the Opportunity Description, or send a link in an email to volunteers you are engaging in web conferencing activities.
